Blog 411

This blog was created for our friends and family who don't get to see us -- well, Jonathan and Elise, really -- as often as they'd like. I'm trying to keep you all updated on their milestones and their day-to-day activities. I also hope this will serve as sort of a journal for them as well, something for them to read when they are older that chronologues their lives and adventures. When I can, I'll post pictures and maybe even videos to help bridge the distance.

This blog is Part 2 of the Life of the Hardwicks. This edition will focus on our new lives in Atlanta, GA, that began in July 2013.

2014_08_11 Monday

With all the excitement from the weekend, it sure was tough getting up this morning, so instead of rushing and making life miserable to catch the bus, Jonathan and I walked to school. We actually intercepted his bus at the last stop, and he nearly jumped on. We had a really nice walk and chat.

Dave's a real champ in getting Elise up and ready. So she was getting ready when I got back. We snuggled for a little bit before she went to school too. Today is her first day of after-school Reading Club. I'm curious to see what that does for her.
From Elise's school: Today we talked about manners and using polite words. I read the book Monster Manners. We made manner puppets and we practiced saying nice things to each other. We also practiced our handwriting in our journals. We worked on the letter of the week (Aa). We played Simon Says using 'Please' instead of simon says at recess. We danced and sang at the end of the day during music time. 

When do you use 'please' and 'thank you'? 
Elise- when she (babysitter) lets me watch tv I say "thank you buggy" 


When Jonathan got home today, he flew into my office with good news: he lost another tooth!! It was an eye tooth; this should be it for awhile, I think.
